I don't think that top photo is that old. That's Royal Street and those flagstone sidewalks were only installed for the World's Fair in '84.

Really? I had to estimate. It's by none other than Eudora Welty, so I guessed.

That top photo was certainly taken before 1984! Peenee, how are you sure that's Royal Street?

I recognize the sign behind them. It's an antique store called Manheim Galleries, it's next door to Brennan's, on the corner of Royal and Conti.

But now I remember the schmancy parts of Royal Street had those flagstones and that's what the city was recreating in 1984, so I withdraw my comment.
